A HlN.NeAr Old hhnt

Lawrence Kennedy, a six-year- old son
OF Larry Kennedy, living on Thirteenth
street, below Nicetown lane, Philadelphia,
was shot In the head by Tommy Palmer,
playmate only a year older than him
self, on Tuesday afternoon. Young Pal
mer's father, Joseph Palmer, works at
the Peerless Brick yard, where the lad's
grandfather, William Peterman, is also
employed as watchman. Peterman left
his revolver, little affair with four
chambers, in the pocket of a coat which
he hung up in stable, and the two BOYS
found 1t there. They first talk. d of going
out to shoot Indians, but concluded that
spsrrows were more plentiful, and agreed
to shoot them Palmer had the pistol in
his band when this agreement was ar
rived at, and somehow or other 1t was dis
charged. The boy says he doesn't know
how
Kennedy's head was in the line which
the ball took, and 1t stopped In the from
tai bone of the skull. The shaver was
good deal staggered, but he concluded
that the parental chaetisement which
would be visited upon him at home was
more than he cared to face, SO he didn't
go home until time for supper. Then the
hole In his head had to be explained, aud
when his parents heard the story they
were too much frightened to think of
Furnishing the boy for meddling with the
weapon, and sent for the nearest physi
clan, DR.. W. G. Howell The doctor
Jailed to get the ball; thought 1t was a
suitable case for hospital treatment, and
sent word TO the German Hospital, which
sent out an ambulance. The parents re
fused to let the boy 90, and placed him
In care OF their family physician, DR.. j.
X. Cassel who at ten o'clock last night
had not extracted the ball. The boy,
however, appears to bsin no danger un.
less Inflammation sets in.

The I hestre Horror at Exeter

LONDON, Sept. 6.-The victims by
the burning Of the Theatre Royal st
Exeter last night were mostly work
people. AS soon rs the flames were ex-
ting uisbed, d large forcs OF men heQsu
searching for bodieB. Tho stairway
leading to the gallery was literally
packed with hodies, while OF the head
Of the stairs there were scores OF ethers
piled one on TOP OF the other. Tho un.
fortunate victims hEd rushed to tho doJr
when tho alarm was given, hut found
the stairway blocked, and al men: OF
escape cut of. In short tirio tho
flames had reached them, and they sui
fered u horrible death.
In many CASES fathers and motherg
both perished, and numerous Children
are thus left without means OF support
Several Of the bodies were burned go
thA. only o small c!nder remained
The number o! persons severely injured
Is 60. 1t 10 feared that the death list
will reach 140.
Most Of the killed were adults and
chiefly men. But few children per.
ished.
More bodies have been taken from
the ruins. The charred remains OF
twenty persons we're found In one heap
A mother, father and child were
found c)ssped In one embrace. All
three had been barIed to death.
IL nesrly every case the clo.hipg had
been torn off the victims. From many
OF the bodies li,nbs we're missing, and
the rem aims showed evidence that they
had been wrepcbed off.
Several whole fan, lilies, numbering
from two to fvo persons, lost their
lives.
The construction Of the gallery stair
case accounts for ths great loss of life
among the gallery people. Half way
down the flight there was sharp angle.
Tue frst person who left the gallery got
past this safely, but several OF those
who followed were thrown down and
jammed into the angle and were uusbls
TO extricate themselves, owing 10 the
pressure frcm behind. The staircase nj;
this point wac effsctually blocked, and
there was no other means Of escape
A scene shiiter Gays the fire oritt
mated among some gauzs, which IN
some way ignited. A public funeral
will be held to morrow. A relie: fuud
has been oper ed. Captain Shaw, who
Ia visiting Exeter, says that the fire
spread with such rapidly owing to the
abundance Of tl2m N able NJ material, that
no help from the outside would have
dope any good. The fire brigade spar cd
no effort, but it would be better IL they
we're placed under one control. The
Queen has oent messages Of sympathy
